The antioxidant vitamins
1979
Johnson, F.C.
A detailed study of the interacting metabolic functions of vitamin C and E is featured. Both vitamins are chemical antioxidants. The idea that these vitamins may be synergistic in one aspect of the metabolism and antagonistic in another may be possible and is even likely. The increasing importance of the work on free radical reactions, their toxicity and carcinogenic actions, and also their relation to the metabolism of metals, particularly iron, copper, selenium, and zinc, shows a number of metabolic pathways with which both vitamins interact. Over 500 references are cited.
